To Sell Or Not To Sell.....??..

[Outdoorsman87]

Hello ODT buddies.
I've recently had an urge to sell my matching "hex" mosin with its goodies and pills and purchase a ruger american predator in 308 18" barrel...

Would the mosin be worth holding onto? Or would the 308 be a better "investment" (I rarely shoot my mosin, but Im a sucker for a wood gun with iron sights)

I keep going playing with it in mind, but maybe some tips n hints could help me out...

Ty in advance

The Ruger will lose value the minute you walk out the store.

The Mosin will continue to appreciate.

Get a Ruger m 77 RSI Mannlicher Mk 2 , I believe. It comes in 308. I'm not a fan of the Ruger American Series. But it's hard to beat a M77mk 2 or Hawkeye. Apologies in advance to the Remington guys.

The Ruger American, yes. Not the M77 or Hawkeye.

Hawkeye would be nice, but out of my price range sadly

I just bought a Ruger Mini 14 Ranch (found one at last)!

The ruger will lose money, the mosin will gain. Hell its already worth more than the ruger.

My son and I have a 243 Ruger American each, mine is a Predator, and we are quite happy with them and I would buy them again. Deer have not complained yet.
But I don't think they are an investment that will gain value over time if thet is what you are looking for.

A ruger American is only 3-400 bucks save up so you own both.

Plus the scope unless he already has one.
